Well, what can I say, time fly's when you have a gazillion things going on. I was at the store today enjoying some "project time" (for the most part this means having a pinterest tab, blog tab, facebook tab, and pic monkey tab open all day long!) However, I did get a lot of projects and ideas for our upcoming Young Women camp and Wednesday night youth activities! I came across a saying that I fell in love with about optimism. I also came across this pin...How to make your own chalkboard printable, married the two together and whaa laa!

For my first digital printable, I think it looks pretty cute. For the most part I would rather order them on ETSY. I love Etsy, people are so creative, much more than I. I have a plain white frame that I will print this out in and I think it would look lovely on my bedside table!

Well I have a little something to admit. I have been MIA for most of the summer, busy with kids, projects, trips and just loving time off! Thanks to my sweet girls who reconfigure, redesign and keep the boat afloat while the captain plays! But since we have been back to our normal schedule and finally to have a routine I can honestly say I love our little store. I love that I have an outlet to be creative, that people love our store and to work with amazing stylists and friends. That is what is unique about Livy Lou’s. People say that there is a sweet vibe and we will keep it that way. It’s a place to come, relax, be inspired and get pampered! There’s always new things going, new products to try and new fashion trends so come stop by. We are always so glad when you do!

Ps. The only way to get things you want is to ask. I saw this awesome umbrella in a guys side yard – I know right! But those are the best finds (other people’s things that they are NOT appreciating!) I have wanted one for years for the store. I left a note on the door and surprisingly he said it was available! I wired a string of my fav outdoor lights and how fabulous is that! This is one of my favorite things about our store!

Some colors are just NOT supposed to go on certain pieces of furniture. And sad for me I didn't figure that out until I had already spent two hours on this project. I THOUGHT this would look fabulous in a bright teal, so I started to paint it and...I just didn't love it.

Now, I'm not saying that it wouldn't have turned out wonderful, because with some new funky knobs and dark glaze it would have been. But when I stood back I just didn't get that feeling. And if you are one of those people who love to design, create and re-purpose you know that feeling. It's a feeling that brings singing to my soul, it's a breath of fresh air, it's like taking a new pair of shoes out of the box for the first time! Ahhh, I love that feeling! But it wasn't like that, so frustrated with the time I had spent, I had Jack get out the sprayer and he sprayed it white...I did NOT love that either. So back in the barn it went and there it would sit for a few months. And then I found the perfect paint. What do you think?... Isn't it so much better. I love how soft it is.

I kept the original knobs and just gave them a quick coat of white paint. Look at how charming and quaint they are. And look at all that storage, man, all your papers would be so organized!

And if your stacks of paper work, all your kids cute school projects and bank statements aren't neatly organized into little cubbies (like mine NEVER are - seriously ask Jack), the beauty of this desk is you can hide all that!

Well hello. Today is Tweet Tweet Tuesday. What is it about birds that are so charming?!? Little Livy always says she wishes she could fly and look at the world from above. That view of the world is so peaceful. We here at Livy Lou's find birds charming, delicate and lovely. Here are a few things we have to celebrate Tweet Tweet Tuesday.

Well Hello. Hooks are my go to organizer. Put these sweet hooks in your bathroom to hang towels, by the front door to hang jackets, keys or handbags / backpacks, or in your bedroom / closet to organize your jewelry! They are a great display piece for any space. What would you use them for?
